The sick girl cries out ... blood

Due to a rare disease called haemolacria, when crying, blood flowed from the eyes of a 20-year-old Chilean girl.

Yaritza Oliva is reported to be the most recent case of haemolacria (haemolacria) .

According to Chilean media, Oliva began mysteriously bleeding from her eyes earlier this June. At that time, the doctors had difficulty identifying the disease from strange symptoms and prescribed her eye drops to ease the pain. However, Oliva's situation did not improve after that.

Experts eventually dismissed Oliva's ability to become infected with simple infections or conjunctivitis as she continued to bleed her eyes several times a day. Because the family did not have enough money to pursue Oliva's treatment, they called on people to donate to help her get a chance to meet a good specialist, identify the cause of the disease. and cure her.

Although doctors haven't officially diagnosed Oliva's disease, the 20-year-old girl seems to be among the few people suffering from haemolacria.

According to medicine, haemolacria is one of the most dangerous and rare diseases among eye diseases. Although there have been studies about it since the 1970s, until now, scientists still do not know much and find out the exact cause of the disease. There is currently no scientific document that specifically lists the number of people infected.

In 2009, an American adolescent was found to have symptoms similar to Oliva's, ie, eye bleeding three times a day. Doctors cautiously stated, it is not possible to confirm whether the boy has haemolacria disease because symptoms of eye bleeding also appear in patients with other diseases.

For example, in March, a Canadian man began crying blood. From his other symptoms, including bleeding in various parts of the body, doctors identified a poisonous snake bite as the culprit causing strange phenomena and prescribing antidotes to patients. .
